HOME DELIVERY OF PERSONAL EFFECTS
Barbados Port Inc. advises all importers/consignees that effective May 4, 2020, importers/consignees with personal effects at the Port of Bridgetown are required to utilize the new Home Delivery Service and will not be allowed entry into the Port for collection of shipments. This arrangement will continue until further notice.
Importers/Consignees have the option of selecting either an Authorized Consolidator/ Freight forwarder OR an Authorized Trucker to clear any goods imported and to act as the clearing agent in the process. WHY USE THE HOME DELIVERY SERVICE? The Home Delivery Service is an all-inclusive service, eliminating or significantly reducing the need for importers/consignees to spend time in Port. In addition, authorized clearing agents can take care of all Customs and Port formalities including payment of duties and charges and clearance of shipments.

HOW IT WORKS STEP 1 NOTIFICATION Actioned by the Clearing Agent You, the clearing agent, have been notified that your customer (consignee) has cargo at the Bridgetown Port. You will be required to make contact with your consignee, about their cargo. STEP 2 AUTHORISATION Actioned by the Importer/Consignee You, the Consignee, must authorize a clearing agent to act on your behalf. You may choose to work with either the Authorized Consolidator/ Freight forwarder through which your shipment arrived OR an Authorized Trucker. If you elect to work with a trucker when contacted by your consolidator/freight forwarder, you will be required to inform the consolidator/freight forwarder. You can then collect the documents related to your shipment (Delivery order) from the Consolidator/ Freight forwarder for presentation to the trucker you chose as your clearing agent. The authorization to your clearing agent must be done in writing via a letter addressed to ‘The Comptroller of Customs’. The letter should indicate your name, your Authorised Agent’s name and must be signed by you. You should also submit a valid photo ID to your clearing agent as proof of your identity. Make sure this is returned to you by your clearing agent on receipt of your shipment. STEP 3 DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT Actioned by the Clearing Agent All clearing agents will be required to manage all relevant documents, including:
1. Arranging for receipt of the letter signed by consignee, authorizing you to act on
their behalf.
2. Arranging for signature of the Customs Declaration form by the consignee.
3. Facilitating the processing of the documents through ASYCUDA World.
